In the program of the secondary school there is a poem in prose by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev "Russian language". There is such a line there: "O great, mighty, truthful and free Russian language." Something in this proposal seemed close to our people, weighed down by universal literacy, and they took it into service, however, slightly curtailing it. So the saying appeared: "The great and mighty Russian language." Basically, this phrase is pronounced in an ironic context: in the event that someone made a mistake in the pronunciation of a word, in the construction of a sentence, and so on. And it becomes clear to everyone what is at stake. That is, the poetic line has turned into a saying - a kind of turn of speech with humorous overtones. But if we conclude at the end, for example: “The great and mighty Russian language, therefore, you need to use it skillfully,” then we will get a proverb.
Proverbs and sayings - a bridge to past centuries
In all languages, without exception, there are proverbs and sayings: about laziness, about work, about skills, about observations, in general, abouteverything that happens to us and to the world around us. They have evolved over many generations and through the millennia bring us the wisdom of our ancestors. From them you can understand how our great-grandfathers treated this or that phenomenon.
For example, all of us, without exception, are familiar with laziness. Some struggle with it, and sometimes successfully, others succumb to it - and also reach certain heights in this matter. Of course, the traces of this struggle could not but be reflected in folklore. As a result, numerous sayings about laziness have appeared. Some of them are well known to everyone, but do we understand them correctly? Let's figure it out.
Sayings about laziness and work
We all know the saying: "Horses die from work." In the original full version, in the form of a proverb, it looked like this: “Horses die from work, and people get stronger.” It is easy to see that the meaning of the saying and proverb is the opposite.
The proverb says that you don't have to work, because the occupation is hard and thankless, even such hardy animals as horses can't stand it. The proverb explains that it is necessary to work, because a person (unlike an animal that is unable to understand the meaning and significance of labor) becomes he althier and stronger from this.
Let's look at some more sayings about laziness. For example: "Someone else's work - little trouble." Although laziness is not directly mentioned here, it is implied: when someone else is working, we can relax and not know the hassle. So right? No not like this. Here we are talking about something else: if you need to changecomrade at work, then you should not be afraid to overwork, because this is a good thing, and you do not need to perceive it as additional trouble and burden.
Old meanings of familiar expressions
There are other sayings about laziness. "To beat the buckets", for example. We use this turnover in the meaning of "to be lazy, to do nothing." And initially the meaning of this saying was different.
Baklusha is a blank for a wooden spoon. She represented an ordinary chock, chipped from a log. Such work did not require great skill, therefore, it was entrusted by the masters to assistants - apprentices. And this simple lesson was called "beating the buckets." Therefore, the saying is not about idleness, but about simple work.
Since we are here remembering the sayings about laziness, how not to say: "Work is not a wolf - it will not run away into the forest." That is, there is no need to hurry, the work will wait, when we get together - then we will do it. But if we finish this phrase in the way our ancestors thought of it, we get the following: “Work is not a wolf - it won’t run away into the forest, that’s why, damn it, it must be done.” That is, the conclusion is the opposite - do not delay, but the matter will not go anywhere anyway, so it's better to deal with it without delay.
So what is the conclusion from all that has been said? The wisdom of the people says: it is not necessary to be lazy - it is a sin. We need to work ourselves and help our neighbors - and then everything will be fine with us.

Proverbs about laziness. "Laziness-mother"
For a Russian person, laziness is a complex concept. For example, it is difficult to say whether wine is evil or is it good? Of course, it all depends on the measure.

Thus, proverbs about laziness do not reflect the whole versatility of the relationship of a Russian person with parasitism
